Chapter 120 Why was that person caught?

"Mother, leave this matter to me. Just wait for my good news at home."

What Ruan Hantong wants is for Mrs. Ruan to take the responsibility on her, but she has to step in to solve the problem.

Mrs. Ruan was a little hesitant. She took Ruan Handong's hand and asked cautiously: "But Tongtong, if mother doesn't go with you, will you be soft-hearted and let the little thief go?"

Hearing this, Ruan Hantong frowned and said patiently: "Mom, you have forgotten that dad doesn't like you showing up everywhere. If he knows that you went to the pawn shop, no matter what the reason is, he will definitely have a quarrel with you.

of."

It is absolutely impossible for her to let Mrs. Ruan go to the pawn shop. At the moment, Ruan Hantong has no intention of falling out with Ji Xiuyun.

If Mrs. Ruan goes to the pawn shop, things will definitely be difficult to deal with.

"Well, then," Mrs. Ruan hesitated again and again, but finally gave in because she didn't dare to quarrel with her husband-in-law, "Tongtong, do you need any help from my mother? As long as my mother can do it."

"I need some money, mother. I don't have much money on me right now. If I need to manage some places or people, I'm afraid I won't be able to move without money."

Ruan Handong's money was almost spent by those little brats from the Ji family, and she couldn't even buy some rouge and gouache. How could such a gray-faced man attract the man from the Ji family?

"But my mother doesn't have much money, and your father never lets her touch money."

Mrs. Ruan herself felt embarrassed when her daughter said this. She lowered her head, a little annoyed that she couldn't even help her daughter in this way.

Ruan Hantong squinted his eyes and looked up and down at Mrs. Ruan's clothes.

Although she is very plain, she also has one or two pieces of jewelry on her body. If she pawned them, it would be a considerable sum of money.

"Hey, mother, if I don't have any money, I won't be able to solve any problems when the time comes. Does my mother really want to be kicked out of the house by my father? I'm not afraid, but I don't want my mother to leave me."

Ruan Hantong deliberately made the matter very serious, which made Mrs. Ruan's eyes turn red and she was about to shed tears again.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Ruan raised her hand and took off her jade bracelet and handed it to Ruan Hantong. She asked softly and uncertainly: "Tongtong, can you pawn this jade bracelet from my mother first and exchange it for something else?"

Do you need some silver for an emergency?"

Seeing this, Ruan Handong suppressed the joy in his heart, with a sad look on his face, and said to Mrs. Ruan seemingly apologetically: "Then I have to wrong my mother first."

The next second she took the jade bracelet without hesitation and said, "Mom, I'm going to the pawn shop right now to see if I can catch Ji Xiuyun and get grandma's bracelet back."

"I'll leave everything to you, Tongtong."

Mrs. Ruan didn't feel that she was being deceived. She just felt that her daughter had finally grown up and become sensible, and that she would have someone to rely on in the future.

After getting the jade bracelet, Ruan Handong turned around and walked out, heading straight to the pawn shop in the town.

First she got ten taels of silver, and then she pretended to ask the pawnshop owner to help her keep an eye on anyone who came to pawn an old jade bracelet. If there was news to tell her, she would definitely not treat him badly.

Then Ruan Handong happily took the ten taels of silver to the Wa Market to buy some rouge and gouache, and pulled a piece of beautiful fabric to make new clothes for himself.

When the sun went down, Ruan Hantong reluctantly returned home with a lot of things.

However, on the way home, she happened to hear someone whispering about something on the side of the road.

"Hey, have you heard that the official caught the robber yesterday?"

"The one who kidnapped the Liu girl?"

"I don't know. He is very strict and refuses to say anything."

"They should be tortured severely. Those people are all bad guys!"

Hearing this, Ruan Hantong's original good mood suddenly turned bad, and a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.

No, she shouldn't be that unlucky.

Maybe it was another robber who was caught?

What's more, that man had promised that he would only appear on the back mountain and would never go anywhere else.

She couldn't scare herself and get confused.

Comforted and comforted, Ruan Hantong finally turned around and walked to the Yamen without knowing it.

The Yamen was very strict and no one was allowed to enter without important matters. In addition, there were no meetings in the past few days, so Ruan Hantong lingered outside for a long time and could not get the news he wanted.

Because of her sneaky behavior, she was glared at several times by the yamen guards, which scared her so much that she quickly hugged her things and ran away from the yamen.

After thinking about it, if she didn't figure out this matter, it would always weigh on Ruan Hantong's heart like a stone. She made up her mind to hide all the clothes and things she had when she met the man that day. She would never let the second person

see.

I was afraid that the man would expose me.

Ruan Hantong thought that she was lucky enough to be veiled that day and did not tell the man her true identity. She couldn't help but admire her foresight.

I don't know whether that man succeeded or not. In order not to arouse others' suspicion, Ruan Hantong didn't go by Ji's house in the past few days, so naturally he had no source of information.

Sure enough, we still have to start with those lucky sons of the Ji family.

Early the next morning, Ruan Hantong woke up early and gave himself a look that looked extremely haggard. Coupled with the fact that his lips were made bloodless by freezing with cold well water, he looked as if he had given birth.

Like a serious illness.

Then she quietly walked out of the door and deliberately stayed by the river where Ji Xiuyun went most often.

Sure enough, she didn't wait long when she heard the sound of Ji Xiuyun humming a little tune and jumping over not far away.

Ruan Hantong immediately knelt down, pulled his long hair in front of him, and quickly began to cry again.

The next second Ji Xiuyun called out "Sister Tong" in surprise, her eyes were filled with tears, and when she raised her head, the pear blossoms were filled with rain.

"Xiaoyun, you, why are you here?"

"Sister Tong, why are you crying? Who bullied you!"

Ji Xiuyun was a little at a loss. She was not good at comforting people, so she could only pat her chest and promise that the person who dared to bully Ruan Hantong would pay the price.

"It's nothing. Grandma didn't mean it. It's all my fault. It would have been better if I wasn't a girl, wuwuwu."

Ruan Hantong knew that Ji Xiuyun was very close to her, so she naturally wanted to take advantage of this, so she pretended to turn away and was unwilling to talk too much about her sadness.

"Did that old immortal bully you?"

Ji Xiuyun didn't have a good impression of the Ruan family. When she heard that the old immortal actually made Sister Tong cry, it was not a big deal. She rolled up her sleeves and wanted to vent her anger on Sister Tong.
